Welter Shelter Fall Winter 2016
The Amsterdam based all-weather jacket brand “Welter Shelter” sheds a new light on Insulation and technical fabric use in its Autumn Winter 2016 collection.
This season the insulation is produced in close cooperation with Meida, a superior insulation program that keeps you warm whilst remaining thin, flexible and breathable. The secret in the MEIDA insulation is the art of layering. One layer of thousands of Polyethylene micro-fibers pressed on a square millimeter equals the warmth of a woolen sweater. Most of our jackets have a 150grms MEIDA insulation, equaling 5 woolen sweaters with a thickness of only 0,8 centimeter.
Enough math, as Polyethylene also has some other valuable qualities: It leads transpiration out of the insulation so that warmth is preserved (in contrary to Polyester, the mostly used insulation material that holds moist). And last but not least it works as a wind stopper, blocking wind coming through your jacket, which often is the main cause for feeling cold.
There is also a program with removable inner jacket body warmers containing MEIDA, so that in the case of milder weather you can wear just a very thin shell that will keep you dry. Besides these options we have also some heavy duty expedition coats like the PUFF PADDY executed in a techno storm system wool, insulated with 200 grm MEIDA which will keep you warm to -30 whilst staying lightweight and thin.
All of this season’s fabrics are Italian-made in the finest mills. You will find the “Loro Piana storm system”; a fine layer of wool with a storm-system-membrane behind for absolute protection. There is a cashmere wool blend in dark navy for a super soft feel or the more rugged looking polyesters. The three-layer cotton has become one of our staple qualities, which will return every season.
The result is a very stylish, lightweight, thin winter jacket with maximum functionality.
